Answer:

The number is 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number

product is multiply

12 + (2x) = 4x -8

Subtract 2x from each side

12+2x-2x = 4x-2x-8

12 = 2x-8

Add 8 to each side

12+8 = 2x-8+8

20 = 2x

Divide by 2

20/2 = 2x/2

10 =x

Answer:

Algebraic expression

12 +2(x) = 4(x)-8

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the unknown number be x

12 +2(x) = 4(x)-8

Further solving

12+2x=4x-8\\\mathrm{Subtract\:}12\mathrm{\:from\:both\:sides}\\12+2x-12=4x-8-12\\\\Simplify\\2x=4x-20\\\\\mathrm{Subtract\:}4x\mathrm{\:from\:both\:sides}\\2x-4x=4x-20-4x\\\\Simplify\\-2x=-20\\\\\mathrm{Divide\:both\:sides\:by\:}-2\\\frac{-2x}{-2}=\frac{-20}{-2}\\\\Simpllify\\x =10

A baker is calculating the charge for two types of cookies. what formula tells the cost, in dollars, if chocolate chip cookies a
JulsSmile [24]

Answer: Each dozen of chocolate chip cookies costs $1.50/dozen. So if you sell C dozens of them, you win C*$1.50 dollars, where C is a positive integer number. Similar case for the lemon ones, the baker will win L*$1.00 dollars if he sells L dozens of them ( where L is a positive integer), the total charge is the sum of both parts; T = L*$1.00 + C*$1.50.

melania walked her dog 2 1 /5 miles. cqthy walked her dog 1 3/4 times as far as melania did. how many more miles did cathy walk
stira [4]
Let’s set this equation up to make this easier.

melanie= 2 1/5 miles walked
cathy= 1 3/4 more times than melanie.

when an equation says the word, more than this means adding. when it says less than this means subtraction. when it says times (in this question) then multiply.

so, if cathy walked 1 3/4 more times than melanie what we would do is multiply 1 3/4 to what melanie was walking. so 2 1/5 times 1 3/4 which equals 3.85.

so overall, cathy walked 3.85 more miles than melanie.
